We started with Le Musée de la Poupée to see the exhibition of Ingeborg Riesser' s miniature collection. A marvel, so many beautiful things, works of great craftmen from all over the world, a stunning collection. No photos because it is forbidden.You can see it in her book Les Maisons de Poupées, Massin Editeur.

Then off to Montmartre to Léa Frisoni's shop Dentelles et Ribambelles. If you don't know her blog Un Jour à la Campagne, it's really worth visiting (it is in my list of blogs about miniature) and you surely know her book Maison Miniature.

Then the second part of our day with a start Place Monge where we would meet a lecturer to visit the Great Mosque. Before the small group got together time to eat sitting on the edge of the fountain a sandwich ans a piece of cake and to have a good chat. The visit of the mosque was very interesting and the feeling to be away, far from France, perfect for the holiday.

Sounds like a fabulous day, I certainly understand what you mean about Lea's shop, it is sucha delight. But I also like standing at the front window looking at the little houses that I had only ever seen on the computer...her work is lovely! (as is yours!)Linda x
